How would you be able to correct your error if you forget to tell a patient not to eat before blood work while still protecting patient confidentiality under HIPAA?

If you are referring to going back and altering a written record - that's a no-no. If you are simply referring to a verbal instruction - and you 'forgot' to tell them - just call them up and say something like . . ."Oh, by the way, I just wanted to double-check that I told you that you were not supposed to eat anything within 12 hours of the test?" Unless there's more to the question than what is stated, I don't see how this would possibly conflict with HIPAA.

Where do you find a copy of a hardship letter?

You can find many online. The problem with using them, however, is that the samples are mainly used to get traffic to websites; not to provide a real, quality sample for you to use. A quick look at the quality of letters online will show you how true this is.

Your letter should follow this general flow:

1 - what are you wanting to have happen (loan modification, short sale approval, deed in lieu, loan forbearance, etc.)

2 - what is the hardship that is causing you to request this change to your previous agreement with the lender

3 - what income do you have to pay the payment resulting from the new agreement (if you're requesting a loan modification or loan forbearance).

Note: If you don't have a good explanation for #2 and don't have a good story for #3, your letter will not help you.

What are the four ways of knowing?

Experiential: Knowledge created by a conscious being, fully aware of and grounded in the immediacy of the direct sensory environment, while mindful of the duality of our mental imagery and the real world.

Presentational: Knowledge generated by and communicated through a variety of richly imagined artistry. This is Knowledge as metaphor as described in the Mythos vs Logos dialogue.

Propositional: describe this as formal theoretical, conceptual knowledge, encoded in language. They characterize the dominant modern propositional knowledge in terms of logical positivism and Cartesian duality, and express concerns with the way it may serve to irreconcilably separate the subjective and objective. They allude to a causal argument that leads from language to subject/object dichotomy to man-made ecological disaster to highlight a problem of taking untempered formal propositional knowledge to extremes. Practical: This is knowledge in action that has consequences which can be compared to alternatives and then valued by human judgment. This is knowledge supported by a body of knowledge and a community of practice.

How long will you bleed something bleed if you hit a vein?

Veins carry the deoxygenated blood to the heart do that it can go through the oxygenation process in the lungs. There is less pressure on the veins as they are further away (peripheral) from the heart and on the side of the heart coming from the body and into the heart. The arteries, on the other hand, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body so that the cells in the body can use the oxygen and other nutrients to live. Now, regarding your question: It depends on several factors. First, whether or not you have normal or abnormal clotting factors in your body. These are generally manufactured and supplied by the liver and there are not just a few. Here is the whole clotting story, according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation Secondly, whether or not you have an adequate supply of platelets in your blood. These are microscopic fibers that are attracted to areas of bleeding. They form a "clot" on the bleed and cause the bleeding to stop. If both of these coagulation systems are normal and, depending on how large the "vein" is that is bleeding, you should stop bleeding fairly quickly (inside of ten to twenty minutes) if you do nothing but let the wound bleed. If you are not suicidal though and have any common sense at all, you would simply apply pressure to the bleeding area and the bleeding would stop even quicker as long as you hold pressure there. If there is an artery involved, the bleeding could last much longer. The reason is that there is significantly more pressure on an arterial bleed than on a veinous bleed. This keeps the platelets from doing their job. It would be like trying to stop a garden hose with a fireman's nozzle on it. The pressure would not allow you to stop it quickly so you'd have to stop the flow at the source. Again, you'd want to hold significant pressure and get to the nearest ER so they could stop the bleeding for you. Luckily, the veins are closest to the surface so you're most likely to hit a vein rather than an artery but arteries are knicked fairly often.
